Hi Oliver,
I have made some progress on improving the javascript highlighting
for BF 2.2.2. I have been able to modify the .bflang2 files and get results
in the displayed code.
You mention in the sample.bflang2 file that the regex pattern matching
used by BF is not exactly the same as the full specs for regular
expressions.
Could you provide any further links or references to explain the details and
differences of how BF does the regex pattern matching? or does the section
in the sample.bflang2 file cover all possibilities? i.e. I need to just
re-read and
continue to test.
it covers just the basic possiblilities like the OR construction (foo|bar)I have made some progress on improving the javascript highlighting

the character range [a-z]
the one or more +
the zero or more *
the zero or one ?
and that's it.
what else do you need? can you explain some of the javascript constructs
you like to match?

help as well? (cc to bluefish-dev)
